Raktažodžiai:
Through readings of Charlotte Lennox, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Lord Kames, David Hume, Jane Austen and other 18th-century authors, Marshall (English and comparative literature, U. of California, Santa Barbara) examines the Enlightenment preoccupation with the pervasive presence of art and aesthetic experience in everyday life. Marshall asks what it means for these authors to view the world through the frame of art. He also studies their dramatization of aesthetic experience and their desire to design one's life as if it were a work of art. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Aesthetic experience was problematic for Enlightenment authors. Arguing against the commonly held view that aesthetics in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was defined by the professionalization of criticism and the disinterested contemplation and evaluation of the work of art in isolation, David Marshall seeks to understand how and why aesthetic experience in fact often generated tremendous emotion and tension. Focusing on stories about art told in literary, critical, and philosophical writings, in which art is represented as both powerful and disconcerting, he demonstrates how an aesthetic perspective blurs the boundaries between art and reality rather than separating them.

Lucid and erudite, The Frame of Art examines an Enlightenment preoccupation with the pervasive presence of art and aesthetic experience in everyday life. Viewing a world composed of images, simulacra, copies, reenactments, performances, paintings, and texts, authors and characters describe and enact -- in what Marshall describes as a "representation compulsion" -- intense experiences of art that are far from the disinterested museum experience typically seen as the endpoint of eighteenth-century aesthetics.

These insightful readings of Charlotte Lennox, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Gotthold Lessing, Lord Kames, Henry Mackenzie, David Hume, Jane Austen, and the theorists of the picturesque trace the dramatization of aesthetic experience and the desire to design one's life as if it were a work of art-a painting, a play, or a novel. Marshall asks what it means for these authors to view the world through the frame of art.

Recenzijos

This is a beautifully written and beautifully argued book... I come away from it with a new perception. -- Cynthia Wall Studies in English Literature 2006 Marshall demonstrates an enviable facility with the English, French, and German canon, and at points produces close readings of difficult texts that are nothing short of tour de force. -- Richard Kroll Eighteenth-Century Fiction 2007 The Frame of Art has already received a major accolade: the Louis Gottschalk Prize awarded by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies. It is not hard to see why. -- Richard Kroll Eighteenth-Century Fiction 2007 This book succeeds so brilliantly in its interpretative perspectives. -- Stefan H. Uhlig Modern Philology 2008 Thought-provoking and scrupulously researched. -- Denise Gigante Eighteenth-Century Studies 2007

Winner of American Society for 18th-Century Studies Louis Gotschalk Prize 2006 (United States).An outstanding work that will instantly be recognized as a major contribution to eighteenth-century literary and artistic studies. Its interpretations are brilliant, its scholarship impeccable. -- Michael Fried, The Johns Hopkins University A brilliant study of how to think about 'aesthetic' experience in a time just beginning to formulate critical questions about the aesthetic. Beyond its magisterial account of history, Marshall's book is an instance of close reading in the best and most advanced sense: Marshall is terrific on detail and finds nuances in individual words and patterns of words because he sees (structurally) how different terms, images, and families of ideas work together. And he is a master of allusion-seeing it and using it himself. His comparative background enables him to move easily among texts whether or not they come from different traditions; he is just as good at comparing texts across genres and modes as among national, cultural, or language traditions. -- J. Paul Hunter, University of Chicago
